Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youā€™ll near-instantly regret.

Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.

If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutā€™nā€™paste it into its own post ā€” thereā€™s no quota for posting and the bar really isnā€™t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many ā€œesotericā€ right wing freaks, but thereā€™s no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iā€™m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged ā€œculture criticsā€ who write about everything but understand nothing. Iā€™m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyā€™re inescapable at this point, yet I donā€™t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnā€™t be surgeons because they didnā€™t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canā€™t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

Last weekā€™s thread

      You know, I canā€™t tell if this is supposed to be ā€œI know youā€™re saying that calling unhoused people vermin is some Nazi shit, but itā€™s more complicated than thatā€ or ā€œI know calling unhoused people vermin is some Nazi shit, and Iā€™m honestly okay with thatā€.

      Gonna guess the latter given where itā€™s coming from and the fact that the actual ā€œmore complicatedā€ is a salad of non sequiturs.

      the second is characteristically christian and associated with dignity culture.

      homeless people bear the imago dei. they are not intrinsic moral superiors but their plight is a shame to us because it denudes them of the dignity that should be theirs by right of their humanity.

      Lol yes, thatā€™s exactly the way mainstream Christians view homelessness, their lack of Work Ethic :tm: is a ā€œshame to usā€. Lmao even.

      Christian charitable organisations are so well-known for their ethos of inherent human dignity.
